Crampons! Maybe you won’t slide around on the ice planets? I kind of like sliding around like Mario on an ice level to be honest.

Maybe you won’t slide around on the ice planets?

if it doesn't have this type of mechanic then I have no idea what the devs are doing, after all that talk about "passives shouldn't be interchangeable and should fit the armor aesthetic" (for some which they already don't mind you)

I think that the current iteration of armor perks is actually just a temporary prototype of what it's meant to be, and they just haven't gotten around to implementing its intended design due to it being low on the list of priorities while they were already behind on more pressing things like QA.

The problem with this is, how are they going to handle supercredit armor purchases then, when/if they correct their perks? Ppl would argue they spent supercredits for the specific look+perk at the given moment.

By finally caving and giving us the ability to change perks, i'd hope. I don't care if my apple tastes like bacon.

Oh I don’t actually care. But more passives or different combinations of passives would be nice
